NIT Rourkela is a decent college.

Faculty: Teachers are highly qualified and knowledgeable. Knowledge is a different thing and teaching skill is a different thing, so sometimes lectures can be boring. Course curriculum in 1st year is almost the same for every branch and then core subjects come into the picture. Semester exams are considered the most difficult one among all colleges in India.

NITian story from distance.

Faculty: The academic curriculum is highly tough, as they follow 85 percent attendance. The teachers are helpful and also provide class presentations. Exams are conducted as follows: for one semester, there are 30 marks for the mid-semester, 50 marks for the end-semester, and the remaining 20 marks are given by the professor depending on attendance and class tests.

Absolutely dissatisfied with faculty ! And placements are average, you'll only get a degree !

Faculty: There are mixed up reviews on faculty ! Some are good some are literally not eligible even for teaching in the first semester we ended up wafting YouTube to study that? S how bad the faculty was ! The semester exams were a little tough and majority of the class passes except 5-10% of people !

It is a very good college.

Faculty: Faculty members whom I have come across are decently good. First-year students are taught by assistant professors or associate professors. All the professors are from Odisha itself. They are well-qualified in their respective sectors, but there is an issue with English here. They do speak in English but it is hard for us to decode what they are telling.

Best facilities are in our college.

Faculty: Teachers are well trained and have more years of experience in teaching. They are well qualified from top-reputed colleges. The teaching facilities in our college, especially in our courses, are very good. The course curriculum is relevant to new trends and students learn practically, which makes them ready for the industry. For the semester exams like 7th and 8th, the passing percentage is 67%.

I'm very glad to get a seat in this college; the placements are really good.

Faculty: The teachers are helpful, but not all of them. According to their teaching, I thought that some of them are not well-qualified for the course they have to teach. I'm not ready to tell you whether the teaching is good or bad because some of our faculty members are new to the campus, but the experienced faculty members are good at teaching.

All about NIT Rourkela.

Faculty: Faculty members are well-qualified and highly knowledgeable. However, their teaching methods are not appropriate for all students. Course curriculum is not industry-relevant and is quite outdated. However, many subjects which are important are introduced in third year. Semester exams are quite difficult.

NIT Rourkela: One of the best engineering colleges.

Faculty: All the faculty members are very good and try to reach every student and help them. After teaching, they try to ask each and every student whether they have understood or not. The classrooms are big and well-accustomed. In every semester, you will have two exams: one mid-semester exam, which is of 30 marks, and another end-semester exam, which will consist of 50 marks and the rest 20 marks will be the TA marks, which will be given by the faculty members based on your class performance.

Wholesome package at NITR.

Faculty: The faculty emphasizes practical learning over theoretical knowledge, ensuring students acquire workplace-ready skills. The curriculum has been updated following NEP guidelines. However, some students find certain first-year subjects, like Safety Engineering for CSE or AIML for Civil students, irrelevant. Academics are strict, with an 85% attendance policy. Passing marks are 35 out of 100 for theory and 40 out of 100 for practicals.
